Raed

Raed is married with four children. He has been working as a taxi driver for a long time as he left school before finishing his high school. He was not a hard working student, even hough his father was the principle, because he always preferred the freedom of working.

Raed owns a van that works between Hebron, Beit Ummar village, and Bethlehem. His work is going very well, last year he bought a new van in exchange for the old van and all his savings. Since he spent his savings to buy the new van, Raed is requesting a loan from FATEN for $1500 US to pay insurance and registration fees. He must pay these to be able to register the new van, which is required before he can use it for work.

Raed appears in the picture next to his van.
